America the Beautiful~ Happy Birthday! Let’s Dish #69

 

Good evening, Ladies, hope everyone has something enjoyable to do tomorrow to celebrate our country’s birthday!

My family is out on vacation this week, so it a busy week!  I hope you are getting to enjoy this start of vacation time too!

Last year I found these plates at Savers for 1.99.  I managed to get 8.

They are called Colonial by Warren Kimble.  You can find them online , but for more than 1.99.

July 2 2013 027

I started with a r  w and blue cotton tablecloth from Boscov’s, on sale for 7.99.  The napkins are a co ordinating plaid, also from Boscov’s.

White charger via Noritake outlet, blue dinner from CTS.

Nautical napkin rings, .25 from CTS a few years ago.

July 2 2013 004

Fresh white hydrangea from my yard in a blue  ceramic sundae glass from Pfaltzgraff.  I think they were .98

Blue glass votives, .89 from CTS

July 2 2013 002

Blue stems from Dansk, red star cookie cutter from PB years ago, very cheap.  I would tie a tag on to each and use it as a name card.

July 2 2013 025

Patriotic flip flop salt and peppers  were $1 at CTS.  They are so cute!

Flatware from HG.

July 2 2013 009

On each end I used the patriotic watering can toothbrush holders I got for .19 at CTS last year to hold some more hydrangea.

They will have fun eating their napkin ring!

  1. Kathleen - I love your table! I am totally jealous of your great flatware. It is so perfect for a red, white and blue table! I think Boscov's has the very best values on table linens. I really enjoy shopping online from them. Your flag plates and plaid napkins really complete the theme. Happy 4th!!

  6. An early 4th celebration for us, so I'm going to enjoy exploring the entries at Let's Dish this evening and tomorrow. The flag plates are outstanding. I must look them up on the website. Love the red and white plaid tablecloth with the white undercloth. The licorice napkin rings are so clever. Are they sticky? Thanks for inviting us for a peak and for hosting us. Cherry Kay

    1. No stickier than a regular Twizzler, CK. You can be sure they will get eaten before the dinner gets on the plate, lol. But, hey, it's summer, and 4th of July, we bend the rules!
      Enjoy your 4th, CK!

  35. I think this may very well be my favorite 4th of July tablescape of yours to date! This is really classic and cool, Kathleen! I love the red & white cloth over the pure white! That's such a great summer look! And those Savers plates!!!!!!!! How cool are those?!??!?!!! The flatware fits right in, and the fun twist (literally) on the kids' napkin rings is great!

    Your back yard area is looking tip-top, and I love the fullness of your hydrangea bushes!!!!!!!! I hope you and yours enjoyed a wonderful day despite the insufferable heat and humidity!

  38. Hi Kathleen:

    Love all of the plaids together. Those are great plates that you got at Savers.

    By the time I got to WS outlet you were long gone. I didn't get there until late. And if there were more, I would have gotten them for you.

    Hope you're having fun enjoying having the family visit.
